PUMP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 3, 1907.

Application filed September 22, 1904. Serial No. 225,469.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONIO DELLANNA, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and Stateof Utah, have invented a new and Improved Pump, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to certain peculiar features of construction andorganization in a lift pump, of that class in which one or morevertically movable stand pipes are provided in connection with a means,such as pistons, for forcing the water through the stand pipes upon thevertical movement thereof, the pipes being equipped with valves andother complementary parts by means of which the water is caused to flowupward through the pipes from the upper ends thereof.

This specification is a specific description of one form of theinvention, while the claims define the actual scope thereof.

Reference is vhad to the accompanying drawings which form part of thisspecification, in which drawings like characters of reference indicatelike parts in the several views, and in which Figure l is a sideelevation of the pump with parts broken away; Fig. 2 is a sectionalelevation on the line 2-2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a horizontal section onthe line 3-3 of Fig. 1 showing the upper ends of the pipes and theconnecting links; Fig. 4 is a' horizontal section showing the levers foroperating the pistons of thepump.

The apparatus is mounted in a suitable frame 10. Mounted in said frameto rock around a pin 1l, are links or walking beams l2 which are joinedby pivots 14 to the stand pipes 15.

Pivoted by pins 16 between the beams or links 12 are rods 17 whichextend downward and have forked lower ends 18. These forked lower ends18 are pivotally engaged with transverse pins 19 carried in the ends ofwalking beams 20, which beams are arranged at the lower part of theframe and mounted to rock around a pin 21 supported therein. Theextremities of the beams 20 are respectively pivotally joined to hangers22 dependingr from the lower ends of the pump cylinders 23, whereby toconnect the beams with the pump cylinders. ln this manner the standpipes 15 and cylinders 23, the Cylinders being located at the lower endsof the stand pipes and forming continuations thereof, are mounted tomove vertically with a parallel motion, dipping the` cylinders in andout of the body of water which is indicated in Fig. 1.

Connected to the beams 12 are links 24 which extend downwardto a link 26with which the links 24 are connected by a pin 25. The link 26 isconnected to a wrist pin 27 of a crank 28 fastened on a shaft 29. Thisshaft is arranged to turn freely in an arm 30 mounted on the frame 10,and is provided with a handle 31 or other means of applying power to theshaft, and also with an over-shot water wheel 32. Through the medium ofsaid handle 3l or its equivalent, the water wheel 32 and the shaft 29are rotated, and the stand pipes and cylinders are given theircharacteristic reciprocal movement.

l Operating within the cylinders 23 are pistons 33 provided with valves34 commanding ports in the pistons,

these valves opening inward toward the stand pipes. At the lower ends ofthe stand pipes foot valves 35 are located. The pistons 33 have rods 36extending downward through the open lower ends of the cylinders, andthese rods are connected respectively to the ends of two bars 37 whichare pivotally supported at their end portions by two brackets 38fastened to and projecting downward from the lower end of the cylinders23. As the stand pipes and cylinders move vertically, the bars or levers37 rock to impart reciprocal movement to the pistons 33, and in thismanner water is forced through the cylinders into and through the standpipes.

At their upper ends the stand pipes 15 are turned horizontally, asindicated at l5n in Fig. 2, and discharge into cups 39 suitablysupported from the upper ends of the stand pipes. These cups have outletvalves 40 commanding openings in the bottoms of the cups, and saidvalves are alternately opened and closed by levers 4l fulcrumed on thecups and connected by chains 42 with the valves. Said levers 4l arejoined by suitable links 43 with a cross piece l()a forming part of theframe 10, so that as the cups move up and down the valves 40 arealternately closed and opened. Below the discharge orifices Oi the cups39 a trough 44 is located, and this trough is fitted with a spout 45discharging on the water wheel 32. Said trough'is supported by the frame10.

In the operation of the invention power being applied to the shaft 29,the stand pipes and cylinders will be given their alternate verticalmovement. This will bring about a movement of the pistons within thecylinders, and the forcing of the water upward through the stand pipecausing the water to be discharged from the horizontal ends l5a of thestand pipes into the cups 39.

-This water is retained in the cups until the valves 40 are operated todischarge the same, such discharge taking place when the stand pipes andcylinders reach the limit of their downward movement, and in this mannerthe weight ofthe water is utilized to assist in the operation of thepump. As the water is discharged it runs through the trough 44 andthrough the spout 45 into engagement with the water wheel 32, thusassisting in turning the shaft 29.

Having thus described my invention, I Claim as new u and desire tosecure by Letters Patent:

1. A pump provided with a stand pipe, means for mounting the stand pipeto move vertically, means for forcing the water upward through the standpipe, a cup connected with the stand pipe and adapted to receive thedischarge Y from the upper end thereof, a valve commanding the outletfrom the cup, and means for automatically opening the valve as the standpipe and cup reach the limit of their downward movement.

2. A pump provided with a stand pipe, means for mounting the stand pipeto move vertically, means for forcing the water upward through the standpipe, a cup connected with the stand pipe and adapted to receive thedischarge from the upper end thereof, a valve commanding the outlet fromthe cup, and means for automatically opening the valve as the stand pipeand cup reach the limit of their downward movement, said means foroperating the valve comprising a lever in connection with the valve anda link connection between the lever and a relatively stationary part.

.3. A pump, comprising two movable cylinders,` a bar pivotally connectedto both cylinders, a piston operating in. each cylinder, and aconnection between each piston and said bar.

4. In a pump, the combination of two movable cylinders, a bar pivoted toboth cylinders, a piston in each cylinder, and a sliding connectionbetween each piston and said bar.

5. In a pump, the combination of two cylinders, a stand pipe connectedto each cylinder, a frame, walking beams mounted on the frame andconnected to the cylinders and stand pipes to permit the cylinders tomove alternately up andwdown, means at the inner end of the stand pipesfor carrying off the discharge from the pump, pistons and rods operatingin the cylinders, valves controlling the fluid movement in thecylinders, and a bar having its end portions respectively in pivotalconnection with the cylinders, said bar having; its ends respectivelyconnected to the piston rods.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

ANTONIO DELLANNA.
